North Carolina Branch: Separate Seniority Roster ?

[NW Mailing List]

Abe

Perhaps DI prior to 1903.  Better known as JN after that date. The 
long shot would be DH.  You know that is Draper.

Only you would ask such a question.  The only thing I know is the 
scheduled freight trains ran out of Radford.

The NC Extension was always part of the Rad. Div. as far as I have 
been able to determine.  New River Plateau Ry. from Ivanhoe south, 
Started March, 2, 1888 and merged with N&W RR Oct. 16, 1892 was 
nothing but a company started and owned by N&W connected at Ivanhoe. 
Hope you have been following the post on the Norma Spur.  The NC Ext. 
has a great history.  I went out there back when, trying to find the 
Norma Spur.  Never did find where it connected but did find a farm 
house with a lot of pretty girls on the porch near the location.  You 
know I forgot what I was looking for.
